Programme to address members' health needs can be designed around demand-side access factors related to awareness and care seeking, as well as supply-side factors such as access to finance, consumption smoothing, and products. While health education is the most commonly reported intervention, other intervention include health camps, linkages to health providers, direct provision of services, health loans, health savings, and health micro-insurance (Metcalfe, Leatherman and Gash, 2012). Along with type of services, the mechanism for delivery of health service needs to be analysed. An organization that has a deep routed structure to ensure community participation mobilization and empowerment is more likely to succeed in addressing client health needs, then one that lacks such structure. Successful programmes like the Kakamega project in Western Kenya or the Jamkhed project in the state of Maharashtra in India had arisen from the process, and not from setting of performance targets or from external financing (Were, 2002; Rosato et al., 2008). Hence a discussion on scalability of programme should delve on the structure, process and mechanism for delivery of health programme.
